GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Own Spring Maiden 1220m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m 1200m-W/Post; +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.40)  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Diesel's Sunshine. TUSKEGEE (12) trialled well and missed a whisker on debut (synthetic) and then came here and did a good job when beaten 1L. Has a 2kg claim this evening and can win with the extra fitness. WITHIN SIGHT (8) is also third-up and has switched from a Victorian barn on a 41-day return. Has trialled well and has pieces of form good enough for this. Has a cruel barrier but Pires is a positive jockey booking DIESEL'S SUNSHINE (3) was an easy trial winner and found a place here on debut racing forward. She should keep improving and can't be ruled out. HEART OF PARIS (5) resumed in solid order and has more to give. Has a handy 2kg claim and maps for the run of the race. MASTRETTA (14) showed enough on debut to suggest she'll win races. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Tuskegee.
